Scheduled Maintenance On My Wallet

Does anyone else experience anxiety at the auto mechanic.

I go in for a service that cost $35.
I sit in the waiting area.
Nervously I wait, knowing what's coming.
I hear an announcement on the loudspeaker.
I'm being paged to the service office.
My heart sinks.

Almost every time I go in for service, they find something else that needs fixing or replacing. So my service appointment turns into a $350 service.

I went to my dealership to get scheduled maintenance this past Friday. Believe it or not, they didn't page me in for more service. The service person came in with my ticket and said, "You're done." I couldn't believe.
